A Wow moment for me happened one morning looking out onto
Lake Maggiore in Locarno, Switzerland. The play of sunlight
shimmering on the lake, while at the same time the green
hills in the background were slightly misty and hard to make
out clearly, was magical. I remember thinking that, if
someone had painted this scene giving it the same coloring,
I wouldn't have believed it.

Another WOW occurred on Pyramid Lake in Jasper in the
Canadian Rockies. One bright, sunny day from the canoe that
my husband and I were paddling, the mountain and trees were
perfectly mirrored in the water all around us. My comment at
the time was, "Wow, heaven's anteroom!" Seeing such majesty
was nothing short of a spiritual experience.

There's more but I'll stop with one from the desert near
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. One night the lab educator from the
hospital who had arranged our visit drove us back to Dhahran
from a nearby town after dark, then stopped so that we could
get out and look up at the night sky from the desert. The
sky was clear and ablaze with what seemed like millions of
stars. I had seen what the night sky looks like away from
cities before, but nothing like this. So clear, so bright,
so close. The stars seemed to go on forever and surrounded
by silence it was another Wow on the spiritual scale that
I'll remember forever!
